1st Test: India Thrash West Indies By An Innings And 140 Runs; Take 1-0 Lead (Ld)
Narendra Modi Stadium: Vice-captain Ravindra Jadeja starred with figures of 4-54 as India wrapped up a dominant victory over West Indies by an innings and 140 runs in the first Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday. The win coming before tea break on day three gives India a 1-0 lead in the two-match series and also marks a successful home Test captaincy debut for Shubman Gill.
India began the day by declaring with a lead of 286 runs, and that was enough on board to get a comprehensive win over the West Indies, who were quickly reduced to 46/5. Though Alick Athanaze (38) and Justin Greaves (25) offered brief resistance via a 46-run stand, it wasn’t surely enough as they were bowled out for 45.1 overs in their second innings.
West Indies’ batting lasting for just 89.2 overs across both innings is a stark reflection of their long-term struggles in the longest format. With their bowlers struggling to challenge India’s top order, West Indies face an uphill task to regroup and put up a better show in the second and final Test in New Delhi, starting on October 10.
